Adding variable labels

Labels are meant to provide variable descriptions. These descriptions are often longer versions of the variable names. Labels can be up to 255 bytes. The labels are used in your output to identify the different variables.

  2. For the age variable, enter Respondent's Age in the Label field.
  3. For the marital variable, enter Marital Status in the Label field.
  4. For the income variable, enter Household Income in the Label field.
